Omg, if I started jotting down all the traditions, I think I'd run out of space! It seems like every year people come up with new ones 😂 My favorite has to be eating 12 grapes at midnight! It’s super fun to kick off the year with the thrill of trying not to choke on them! 😆 All the traditions in Helsinki sound so cool! And just like you I wonder what do other cities across Finland do! Thank you so much for another amazing video, for the listening practice and the work you put into the subtitles! Ps. Näytät niin kauniilta siinä sinisessä paidassa ja koruissa 🤭🩵
8:09 my way to celebrate New Year's Eve is to sleep. According to my belief, if you are awake during New Year's Eve, your whole year will be ruined. 10:31 The best way to celebrate New Year's Eve is by sleeping. It's free, there are no high-priced tickets, and you can explore anything you want without the consequences of your actions, since I don’t usually remember my dreams.
@KatChats Finnish Were you ever in Scotland for New Year when you were at Uni? Traditions in North East England are similar. The old traditions of First Footing, where the first person who enters your house at midnight has to be a tall, dark handsome man bearing a lump of coal. The host would serve black bun and shortie and there would probably be dookin for apples. (It's a whole different language up in the real North). 😂
Tin melting has been a tradion here forever and now due to EU regulation we had to give this long tradition up. Which is crazy imo. I think there are more urgent issues in the world than to ban harmless traditions in EU countries.
If you need subtitles during the parts where I speak Finnish, make sure to turn on the CC FINNISH - those are the ones I wrote myself and make sense!
why does subtitle vanishes when you speak English? i have to stop video volume up the video
Thank you so much for the subtitles always! 💚

Ah, memories. Tinan sulatus we used to do this when I lived in Finland before moving to Canada in 1968. Didn’t realize that it wasn’t a thing anymore.

9th! In home recreational lead melting. That’s bizarre.

Yeah, the bureaucrats are insane with their power trips... Absolutely should refuse to follow such diktats.
No hate, but you gotta quit the vegetarian diet you look deficient in collagen from not eating any animal fats.
Great video though, thanks.
